how many outlets does your kitchen have?

We have lots of outlets but I don't know that I can spare one for my knife block:


This is the Germ Eliminating Knife Block. It uses UV rays to eliminate up to 99.99% of bacteria and viruses (in only 20 seconds!). You can set it to come on every three hours if you wish. Those little staphylococcus don't stand a chance.




You know what else kills 99.99% of bacteria and viruses? Hot soapy water. The kind you wash your dishes with. The logical extension of the UV knife block would be the UV cupboard and the UV silverware drawer. Heck, why stop there? Why not sleep on a tanning bed and keep your whole body sanitized?




The good news, if you really want one, is that Hammacher Schlemmer has them on sale for $40. That's $50 off the list price. That's right, more than half off. These things don't even appeal to the kind of people who shop for the high end crap to beat all high end crap.




Of course, those people all have their lettuce knives and those go in the dishwasher so sterility issue resolved.

David, where do you find all this stuff? That has got to be one of the stupidest devices I have seen! Outlets indeed. The new kitchen will have a row of 20 of them for all this crap.
